My girls are about 17.5 weeks and they are starting to lay. I have 7 girls and one rooster. I got our first egg on Sunday, which was a good egg with a nice shell. Yesterday and this morning I have gotten 4 soft shell eggs. I feed out of a five gallon bucket and still had some grower left so I...
Congrats on the eggs! One of my 7 girls started laying over the weekend. I find myself checking the nesting boxes regularly for my egg surprises I am very new to chickens so this is exciting!
One of our 7 hens had a surprise for us when we got home today from a weekend of camping. We got our first egg!! Such a proud Chicken mom moment! Lol The girls are about 17 weeks old. Since being home we have had 2 more eggs, one that was really soft. I went down to the feed store and bought...

I think I have 7 girls and one boy. They are approx 5 weeks old. My 8 year old son named a handful hence the mostly boy names!!
